The Fair DUI Flyer and the Law

New Jersey – Front

I was motivated to create the Fair DUI flyer because of some court cases and because I see activists doing things the wrong way. So on these pages I’m going to talk about why the Fair DUI flyer says what it does, and what the laws and cases are behind that.

For starters the big legal idea is that the three statements on top of the card relate to your constitutional rights under the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments. But not in that order.

The first line is “I Remain Silent,” from the 5th Amendment. It’s first because it’s the most important. And it’s not just about holding up the flyer. You have to follow it yourself. Keep your mouth shut. Not a word, not a grunt, nothing.

The second line is “No Searches,” from the 4th Amendment. Police will often claim the person they arrested consented to a search. This flyer makes it pretty obvious that you do not consent. And that relates closely to why you don’t roll down your window – if they force you to roll down the window or open the door, then it’s a search. If you follow the flyer’s instructions, it’s likely an illegal search and everything that follows should get thrown out by the courts.

The third line is “I Want My Lawyer,” from the 6th Amendment. It does not say I want A lawyer. It says I want MY lawyer. That’s a big difference. Wanting “a” lawyer could mean you want a public defender, and you’re not entitled to one yet. But if you say you want “my” lawyer it means you’re referring to a lawyer you already have and you generally have a right to consult with your own lawyer.

One for North Carolina probably isn’t possible because of § 20-16.2. which is Implied consent to chemical analysis; mandatory revocation of license in event of refusal; right of driver to request analysis. If you refuse, you’ll have your license taken for one year.

Implied consent is if arrested you must give blood or urine. If you havent been arrested yet sitting at a checkpoint, that does NOT constitute an arrest. So the flyer will comply with the law of showing drivers license proof of insurance and a registration

I hope it will work in Pa. Pa law says that upon approaching a check point a sign must be posted before the check point and an intersection must be between posted sign and the check. point so you can avoid it.so if your sober you will notice the sign and can avoid the check point.

Where can I find out if this will work in Louisiana??? I do not drink at all ,never did, never will and am elderly. but they are putting up a lot of these checkpoints around close to where I live. I am elderly and do not wish to be detained on any possible trumped up charges you see a lot of this on those cop shows on tv.

What general advice is available for the states not listed. Any advice for someone with a medical issue (ataxia in my cause) that causes someone to be unsteady on their feet and potentially slurring words. I do not use ANY alcohol and do not drive if i have taken controlled substances. My illness does not impair my my ability to drive. I’m in my late 50s and have had one traffic ticket in my life. I fully support LAWFUL police actions (I have 2 sons who are LEOS), am a veteran, and wish to FULLY exercise my Constitutional RIGHTS.

Dear BobA great post on a wonderful theme. Riding the waves of life in more ways than one!I'm sure that Ablai with benefit from your considerate investment of time into him.Keep up the good work.CheersDonald

I actually cut toners out of my routine several months ago, and I don’t really miss them! My skin isn’t dry or dehydrated though, maybe that’s why. I do like the idea of Hyaluronic acid. I should look for products that contain this and experiment!PS: Love the new layout! So clean!

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the internet the easiest factor to bear in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get irked even as people consider concerns that they just don’t realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the entire thing with no need side-effects , other folks could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you

There is another plugin zingiri web shop. Automated pages with icons and good style is it’s specialty. The developer is also active on their support forum. But it doesn’t support MultiSite at all.I wonder this plugin ‘s not mentioned in the article

First of all, THANK YOU for this. It’s about time we have someone stand up for our constitutional rights. Although this may piss some police off, just because they carry a badge does not make him the master of the land. Second Will this work in Alabama where I live or does Alabama have mid-evil law’s.
